The Chronicle reports community members argue the city council reduced electric rates for large users while neglecting poor residents who cannot pay poll taxes. They claim small customers, who fund most of the plant’s cost, bear the burden without proportional relief. The piece portrays the dispute as a call for fair treatment of the city’s poorest residents.
